    Israel is the most Jewish country on earth, and Jews make up the majority there(having ethnically cleansed a large portion of the native population), and according to available IQ data published in ‘IQ and the wealth of Nations’, are rocking an ave IQ of around 94. Not exactly impressive.

    I believe it is specifically Ashkenazi Jews that are theorized to have higher IQ's, but the data on this is of questionable quality. Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews do not appear to be statistically exceptional in this area by anyones account

    Sephardic are exceptional in that they're around the European mean, whereas most of the Earth are low IQ brown people.
